Pumpkin Patch

Last Friday I took a short drive to this pumpkin patch. There weren’t any school buses in the parking lot. I parked and trekked out to the field. There was a group of pre-school children hunting down the perfect pumpkin.

These great Cinderella Pumpkins were stacked up for sale.

Pumpkin Pumpkin
Big and round
I’m glad you grow
Upon the ground
If you grew up in a tree
You might just fall right
Down on me!

It was a gorgeous Fall day with fluffy clouds, crisp air, and sunshine.

I observed a group of Hispanics picking pumpkin blossoms in the patch. Being the wondering person I am I asked what they’d be doing with the flowers. They explained to me how they saute them with onion to use in their Quesadillas. They said they really enjoyed the taste of them. They also reminded me I should wash them first.

Photobucket replaced all my photos with ugly black and grey boxes and they are holding my photos hostage until I pay them lots of money. I’m slowly going through all my posts and trying to clean them up and replacing some photos. Such a bother.

Nothing says ‘fall’ like the pumpkin patch! We had many trips to pumpkin patches all over the country as the children went through elementary school and we moved around. I was probably the only Mum who wasn’t bored with the whole thing, as every pumpkin patch was new to me!

Such a glorious day… and all those GORGEOUS pumpkins… I like outings like that. I miss the sight of pumpkin patches and farms offering autumn fun–not much of here… *sigh*… This gave me a taste of home–thanks, Ellen :o) ((HUGS))

super header worthy pumpkin pixs and poetry to boot! Cinderella pumpkins are just so classy and I am wishing someone would make a poster of all the cool pumpkin types that are available now. Maybe we bloggers could team up to hunt them all down, I have white ones, pie ones and the warones.nes…
